Lauren Cimorelli (one shots) ❤️

College {Dauren}

A/N - this chapter is very bad omg I'm sorrrrryyy, it was one of the first I ever wrote and I couldn't think of anything to write about Dauren so here yea go. Yea you've been warned bc it's bad 😹💙

Dani's POV:

"Do you have to go?" I ask my older sister with hopeful eyes. She's busy packing her bag in her room while I sit on her bed, probably not being helpful at all.

She sighs at me, then looks me in the eye and nods.

"Why Lauren?" I ask quietly. She takes the big blue suitcase off of her bed and starts walking to the door.

She turns back at me, ignoring my question and says something so quietly that I almost didn't hear her,

"Bye Dani," She says and walks out the room leaving me confused and shocked. She didn't answer my question and left me sitting on her bed with my mouth open in shock.

I run down the stairs after her, screaming her name and find her at the bottom of the stairs, near our front door, ready to leave.

"Bye Lauren, have fun sweetie!" Our mom says as she makes her way from the kitchen to the front door. They hug each other and say goodbye. Afterwards our mom goes back into the kitchen to do whatever she's doing in there.

"Lauren, please. Don't go. I need you here," I say practically begging. Her eyes meet mine and she looks away.

"Dani," She says and grabs her keys, waves to mom and looks me in the eye. She sighs and then opens the door to leave. Never to be seen again. I wonder to myself, Dani what? She's mad at me. Ugh, I never wanted this to happen.

I sigh and put my head in my hands as I sit on the stairs. I then make my way back upstairs and plop myself down onto my bed in my room. The tears spilling out my eyes like crazy as I get up and stare at my reflection in the mirror.

I wipe my tears and make my way to the box that sits under my bed. I take it out with force, my hands trembling as I fiddle with the key that was attached to the bottom of the box.

I quickly open the box with the key and dump what's inside the box onto the floor. There was pictures of me and Lauren at the fair. Pictures of Lauren with some friends and pictures of us together when we were little. There were necklaces and friendship bracelets we gave each other multiple times.

As my eyes came across one picture, the guilt and anger already starting to build up inside of me as I take the picture and rip it up into tiny pieces. It was a Polaroid of me, Lauren and her boyfriend at that time at the fair. Gosh, if my brain wasn't so stupid, maybe Lauren would be here right now. The memories coming back to me as I pick up the pieces and throw them in the trash bin next to my desk. What happened after that picture is a secret, a secret I desperately want to forget,

I was 15 at the time while Lauren was 16, Lauren and I were going to the fair and to my disappointment, she invited her boyfriend as well. To say I was jealous wouldn't exactly be a lie. I was jealous that this new boy had taken up my time with my sister. I rarely saw Lauren after she started dating him. After Lisa, being the happy person she is, decided to take a picture of us three, Lauren and Lisa decided to grab us all cotton candy from the stall across from where we were standing. Lauren's boyfriend turned his back to look at the sunset peering behind us, I turned around too, wondering what he was doing. He turned to look at me and before I knew it he crashed his lips onto mine, we made out for a few seconds, forgetting about Lisa and Lauren who were in the same area as us. Quickly remembering what the hell I was doing, I shove him off me and look around frantically for Lauren. I spot her standing right in front of us with Lisa comforting her while sending me an angry glare. Her mouth dropped in shock and the cotton candy now on the floor as her tears flow over her eyes at a rapid pace and she shakes her head sideways. She runs away with Lisa following, I call out her name but she didn't even look back.

After that day last summer, our friendship has been anything but good. I miss her and I miss our bonding moments at the beach or when we would just chill in our rooms together.

As I get up from the floor, wiping my tears that have over spilled onto the carpet, I put the box back under my bed and plop down into my pillow, crying my heart away as it aches for Lauren to come back.

If I wasn't a stupid 15 year old, this would have never happened. This was all my fault and now, Lauren's gone to college and I don't know if she's coming back.

I think it's my fault she left to go to college. She never even talked about college before and now ever since last summer, she wanted to go desperately. I'm sure it had something to do with me.

Knock Knock

I hear a knock on my door and mutter a 'go away'. The person at the door doesn't listen and opens the door anyways.

"Dani," A voice quietly says and my head snaps into the direction of the voice.

"Lauren?" I say confused at the girl standing there with her blue suitcase in one hand and the other hand wiping away her tears.

"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on the road otherwise you won't make it in time." I say curious as to why she is standing here.

"I know, but I couldn't go without giving you this," She says and I'm scared of what she'll do next.

To my complete surprise, she hugs me. The first time in a year that Lauren has let me hug her. We've shared little words like 'yes' or 'no' to each other over the year. I've tried to apologise, I've bought her many things and I've tried everything that my mind could think of to get her to forgive me. Earlier this year, I gave up. I really missed Lauren and our friendship but it was breaking me so much that she wouldn't even look in my direction.

I hug back, surprised and anxious that's she's hugging me.

"I thought you hated me," I whisper quietly and she shakes her head.

"I don't hate you Dan," She says and gives me a small smile.

"Really?" I say back in surprise.

"Why did you ignore me for a year then?" I ask her, completely stunned with everything happening right now.

"I was mad Dan, I'm really sorry. I couldn't go to college and not have a good memory of us that was recent. I love you Dani," She says and my heart is overjoyed right now.

"Lauren," I say and give her a huge bone crushing hug.

"I missed you so much Laur, I love you so much oh my god, I can't believe you forgave me!" I say with tears of joy springing out of my eyes. I'm shocked that she forgave me, I thought it would definitely be a while, at least another year. I mean, her boyfriend cheated on her with her sister and her best friend, that's got to hurt.

"Okay Dan, I need to leave." She says checking her watch on her wrist.

"Do you have to? I just got you back," I say in disappointment.

"Sorry Dani, my holiday is in a few months though, I'll see you soon. I can come visit for weekends and you can come visit me. We can skype and call each other all the time," She says and my eyes light up in joy like a kid on Christmas Day.

"You promise?" I say, like when I was younger and Lauren smiles and nods at me.

I stand up to hug her which she gladly returns and we say our final goodbyes before she heads out of the house forever.

I'm so glad I got my sister back.
